Re Jim Carroll's various reminiscences here. Last year, during the World Cup, I was driving with the Boat Band through West Cork to play at a Cork couple's wedding. We flew the St George's Cross all the way through West Cork(or a small bit of it), and I am glad to report that nobody whatever shot at us from any hedgerows, Tom Barry and the Big Fella must have been elsewhere.We presented the flag to the bridegroom, but whether he proudly displays it in his house I am not sure.
